“Sweet and friendly server , small restaurant. Several booths and a few small tables. Not fancy but comfortable.

We ordered 2 lamb dishes and one vegetarian, all were tasty. The korma was noted on other recommendations so we tried and were not disappointed.

The dessert was a small portion so I wished the kheer had a bit more serving for the cost.

I keep forgetting to take photos but other reviews include.

Beer and wine options but no cocktails fyi.

Extra note/ This is Definitely better than another Indian restaurant further down Second st amidst the sport bar district. ( Natraj) That one has small portions, less fresh, and less friendly service. They also upcharge / don't even include rice with their entrees.

We will visit“

“Had an amazing lunch today from Natraj Cuisine of India in Long Beach. We ordered pickup today and nothing disappointed. We had the Dahl, veggie samosas, Chana masala, Gobi Mattar, and lots of Roti! More than enough for leftovers, which I’m very much looking forward to! Plus, the staff was friendly and welcoming. Looking forward to going back!“

“I read good reviews so we thought would go and give a try. Well the family and I had fantastic meal. My husband had a goat fish and said was very flavorful and tasty. For the kids (8, 11)we got a mild Lamb Korma and Butter chicken. With these I confirmed that they would be mild enough for the kids. The butter chicken and lamb korma even though was ordered as mild (no spice at all to it) it had an absolutely amazing flavor to it- perfect for kids. Now I have had a lot of butter chicken and hands down this was the best I have ever had. The chicken fried rice we ordered was very tasty as well. Highlight for my husband was the beer from India. He said it was very nice and complimented the food nicely.“

“I ordered Aloo Paratha to go, and while the 25‑minute wait was frustrating, the taste made up for it. Back in 2018, when I was in India, I often enjoyed parathas, but I’ve never found that same authentic flavor anywhere else—until today. For the first time, it felt like I got that taste back.“

“Good restaurant I love the food“

“RT Kitchen is truly a hidden gem. Raju bhai and his team crafts the best Gujarati eats and snacks I have ever tried. I have been impressed by every item on the menu I've tried so far. I used to eat at places down the street in Artesia, but RT Kitchen is now my go-to! It is a smaller establishment with three tables for dining in and an assortment of packaged snacks behind the counter.

The Vada Pav comes on a lightly toasted pav and fried potato filling. Their Samosas (my favorite) have a very flakey crust, and a great crust to filling ratio. The Kachori was delicious too. Their green and red (sweet) sauces are perfect for dipping these!

The Fafda Jalebi and Khaman were excellent and tasty mid-afternoon snacks.

The Mini Thali or Gujarati Thali, available weekends only, makes a tasty meal whenever I'm more hungry.

The Shrikhand is a great complement to balance out the spices after a tasty meal! All other Shrikhands I try elsewhere now leave me disappointed.

The snacks behind the glass counter are unique and tasty too! My favorite is the Dhani, similar to popcorn. Great snack when watching a movie at home. The Potato Gathiya, and Sev Mamra are excellent too!“

“They have the best naan I’ve ever had! Delicious Indian food including vegetarian, meat and fish entrees, and a wide selection of dosa and biryanis. Very friendly staff and a cosy environment. Have enjoyed it every time we’ve eaten there.“

“This is our favorite spot for a late breakfast/brunch on the weekends. Order a couple of dosas or idlis and filter coffee.If you are still hungry, a fried rice and gobi Manchurian to share. Or some of their fritters. We love their outside patio and can easily spend an hour or two when we are here. It's the perfect lazy weekend experience for us! Love their rose milk and badam milk too.
Oh and I got to say this, I especially love their sambhar. I haven't noticed any veggies except for pearl onion, yet it is very finger licking good! Better than my homemade version with all the vegetables. This might be my favorite sambhar at a restaurant actually. Maybe ever! They have gotten the sambhar powder/masala perfectly.

Request to owner - If it's your own creation, please consider selling the sambhar powder. I would love to try and recreate the same flavours at home. Thank you!“

“Good south indian vegetarian food .free parking available vengatesh perumal idol like I am in Thirupathi or USA. There is outside seating as well. I can see the nice and big Aquarium where kids can enjoy their time and the capacity of the restaurant is around 150 seating. Filter coffee has taken my heart as it is very tasty I like for bhimas south indian vegetarian food“

“We were hoping this restaurant was going to be as good as their Fullerton location. Unfortunately, they have a ways to go. Admittedly, it is a high bar to cross. We started with Pani Puri. It was ok but not as good as I've had in Little India (Artesia). We also had Saag Paneer, which turned out to the best dish of the night, and Peshawari Chicken Karahi. The chicken dish was promised to be a bit spicy but turned out to be fairly mild unless one would eat the sliced jalapenos on top. The sauce was a bit sour and lacked depth. We asked for some spicy chutney which helped a bit. The nan, raita, and rice were perfect. My hope is that they send their Fullerton chefs in to give the chefs here a refresher course. Either that or we'll have to drive farther to Fullerton. Definitely will try again and order some different dishes. Our server was very friendly and helpful.“

“The cuisine was top notch and the service was even better. Pure and authentic Panjabi. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This place is the best Indian food I’ve had in Southern California. The chicken tikka is so good and so are the samosas!“

“ordered the Chicken Biryani and the Chicken Masala, and wow both were absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich, perfectly spiced, and you can really taste the freshness in every bite. The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor plus it’s halal, which is a huge plus.

The portion sizes were generous, definitely great for sharing (or keeping all to yourself if you’re hungry like me). The food came out hot and fresh, and the aroma alone had me excited before I even took a bite. Oh yeah, it’s super cheap too. $10 a plate for huge portions in 2025!

If you’re looking for authentic, flavorful Indian food that hits the spot, this is the place to go. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more dishes from the menu highly recommend!“

“I come here once a month to stock up on Indian food. The frozen curries are enough for 2 or 3 meals each with rice. the samosas are great and the lentil soup or dal is great for protein! I'll also buy a masala Dosa or idli's to eat with a mango lassie before going home. It's a great deal!“

“The food is delicious and the service is very good! though I eat in, I always order more food to go to enjoy the next day.“

“Everything is top notch including the food the staff.. everyone around is so friendly and typical North Indian food and the variety for South Indian food and Hyderabad I biryani is also so delicious..it's so difficult to resist yourself to not come here everyday..“

“We want to thank Hemal, Hetal, Saumil and the entire Rasraj team for being amazing caterers for our wedding day and reception! Hemal, Hetal, and Saumil worked with us months in advance to create an amazing all-day wedding menu that was unique, delicious, and incredibly creative. They walked us through numerous options and ideas during our tasting with our family and were extremely professional and on top of things on the big day.

The food was absolutely delicious! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the dishes, and we even had family from India commenting that some of the entrees were the best they had ever had. The fun presentations, like drinks and appetizers served pre-ceremony, were a big hit and added a special touch to the event.

Rasraj was fully prepared with all the equipment and supplies and arrived on time, ensuring that no one went hungry. The service was seamless, and their attention to detail was impressive. If you’re looking for amazing catering for your wedding or event, look no further than Rasraj! Thanks so much, Hemal, Hetal, Saumil and the Rasraj team!“

“Even though I don't have much background on Rajshtani cuisine but I loved the Maharaja Thalia. 3 different kinds of lentils were my most favorite. Not sure what their name was. Bit expensive at $30 per person but very well done though.“

“VERY HOME TOUCH SEEET AND DELICIAS CHAT. WE HAD PAN SEV PURI DABELI AND BHEL. FAMILY OWENED AND OPERATED CHAT HOUSE. VERY TESTY. DO TRY ONCE AND U WILL FAN FOR EVER. NAIK FMLY.“

“Wow, first time trying this place and I’m so happy I did. Best donuts and strawberry & crème croissant/whatever it was, ever! One of the donuts was a hybrid glaze/cinnamon roll donut…amazing! I just finished eating everything and my mouth is watering just typing this out right now. Highly recommend this place! So good!“

“Chef Sangeetha will have your taste buds lighting up with all of her delicious recipes and dishes. Daily new specials keep you trying lots of dishes and creates a fantastic variety!

Go see for your self.

Yuuummmm!“

“The food was tasty but there were some disappointments- we asked very clearly for very spicy and I made it clear that my wife is from Thailand and we are both accustomed to eating extremely spicy food. The food was not very spicy at all. I was disappointed by the lack of condiments and chutneys and also disappointed they brought so much bread at once and never offered fresh, so it was no longer warm and crispy by the time we finished. These are things I would overlook at a budget restaurant but this isn’t a budget restaurant. The food was good but I don’t think we’ll be back“

“This is a restaurant specialize in Southern Indian cuisine, which is 100% vegetarian but not vegan. Unassuming with friendly waitstaff, highly recommended. Some dishes can be quite spicy, please consult with the waiter about the degree of spiciness of a particular dish.“

“Auténtic South Indian food“

“the staff and food was excellent!!! loved it“

“Curry on Pie is honestly a great find — finally a really good pizza spot in Artesia 🍕 This was my second visit, and it definitely did not disappoint. The location is in a perfect, convenient spot, which makes stopping by easy.

The first time I visited, I tried their vegan pizza, and it was really good 🌱 The pesto pizza slices are also very flavorful and well made. You can tell they care about consistency and quality, which really shows in the taste.

Customer service here is great 😊 The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to offer recommendations. They genuinely seem to care about what they’re serving and about the customer experience. The place itself is clean, and there’s street parking available, which is a plus.

Overall, a solid pizza spot with good flavors, good service, and consistency. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area 🍕🙌“

“Good food and ambiance. Great place to be with family and friends“

“Good food. The lunch buffet selection could be better!“

“Shepherd’s Pie & fish & chips are amazing! The drink & service was awesome! I can’t wait to go back!“

“Sambar and chutneys were excellent. I was craving something spicy and andra kara masala dosa hit the spot very well. I also liked how it didn't felt too greasy or had an overwhelming buttery taste. However, the dosa came out soft and pale. It would have been a perfect meal if they didn't undercook the dosa.“

“Bezawada & Bamboo biryani 5-star ***** Highly Recommended for tasty n delicious food 😋“

“absolutely loved the food here. the staff was so nice and professional. will recommend to everyone and will be coming back!“

“Testy food…very nice respectful staff..we enjoyed testy yummy food 🥘“

“When go to Famous Tandoori please try their Philly Cheese Sandwich, Zinger Burger with Fries, Chicken Tikka Roll, Chapli Kabob, Shami Kabob, Lamb Biryani on Saturday, Chicken 65, Chicken Wings, Halwa Puri on Sunday, their Beef and Chicken Samosa's are the Best and Very Tasty“

“New, clean and food tastes excellent!

Location of this place is amazing. Quite a small space to dine in but fits in a group of 2-3 perfectly. Best would be to take out.

Pizza was amazing. We tried vegetarian options of Peppy and cheese makhani pizza (with additional paneer). Size and price of the pizza were worth it.

Only point to note was, the service could have been faster. The cashier himself had to bake the pizza. However, he did a great job when the pizza was served.

Overall must try place especially for vegetarian options.“

“it would be nice if you start sealing the bags. I purchased bunch of farsan and none of the were sealed.The new zip lock bags are poor quality. The food is amazing. It would be nice if it was less spicy. People who enjoy spice just give them chilli paste. Thank you.“

“One of the best places for Indian food I have ever eaten and been to. We ordered Palak Paneer, Chicken Makhani, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, all of them tasted really good and authentic! And also 5 stars for the service. Highly recommended!“

“The food and the atmosphere were great! We will definitely be back!“

“Rasraj in Artesia is a gem for lovers of authentic Indian street food. Their dhokla is perfectly soft and fluffy, with just the right balance of tanginess and spice. The variety of chaats is outstanding—bursting with flavor and freshness in every bite. The freshly squeezed sugarcane juice is a refreshing treat, especially on a warm day, and their paan is the perfect way to end the meal, packed with authentic ingredients and a delightful touch of sweetness. A must-visit for anyone craving vibrant, flavorful Indian snacks!“

“This place rocks. The pizza is awesome and how cool is it that they offer so many vegan options (I’m not vegan but my partner is). Big recommend.“

“Excellent catering experience at Ambala Sweets & Snacks, Pioneer Blvd! Ordered samosas and jalebis for an event—ordering was easy, they helped with quantities, and everything was ready on time. The samosas were fresh and still hot even an hour later, and the jalebis were absolutely amazing. Pricing was reasonable, and the service was thoughtful, including help loading the car. Special thanks to Vijay and the older gentleman for great communication. Highly recommend!“

“I went to eat very disappointed“
